Welcome to ‘Xizang’: China is quietly, permanently trying to erase Tibet

China's efforts to integrate Tibet into its broader national identity are escalating, with significant implications for the region's cultural and religious traditions. The government's policies aim to replace Tibetan language and customs with Mandarin and Han Chinese culture, leading to what some experts describe as a form of cultural erasure. This move is part of a broader strategy to consolidate control over regions that have historically resisted Beijing's authority. It's not just about managing dissent but a deliberate attempt to reshape Tibet's identity permanently, raising serious concerns about the preservation of minority cultures and human rights.
